Villa Alhambra

Villa Alhambra is a stunning Moorish Revival villa located in Sliema, Malta, designed by the renowned architect Emanuele Luigi Galizia in the 1880s as his summer residence. The villa showcases a unique blend of Moghul and Moorish architectural styles on the exterior, complemented by Baroque and Victorian interiors. Over the years, it has changed ownership multiple times, with efforts to preserve its historical significance. Despite various redevelopment proposals, including plans for a wedding venue and conference center, preservation orders have been placed to protect the villa from degradation. As of 2019, restoration efforts have yet to commence, making it a fascinating site for tourists and researchers interested in Malta's architectural heritage.
